Ten observations on Glee Live! at Radio City Music Hall, New York City

Your friendly neighborhood Glee blogger just got out of Glee Live! at Radio City Music Hall and it. was. awesome. The sold-out show is the first of five performances in New York City which will bring the 2010 tour to a close. I’ll have an in-depth writeup of the whole experience here in the blog and in the Houston Chronicle on Tuesday, but for now here are ten observations from the show:

1. Openers Legion of Extraordinary Dancers should change their name to Legion of Extraordinarily Hot Dancers.

2. Finn actually sounds pretty OK live.

3. Santana sounds better.

4. No one sounds as good as Rachel. No one on Earth.

5. Jane Lynch could hardly keep up her Sue Sylvester snarl against the love of the crowd.

6. Mr. Shue didn’t rap, thankfully.

7. Brittany can steal any scene and her dancing is only eclipsed by her expert comic timing.

8. Puck is even hotter in person. We caught him changing in the wings from our seats. I’m sure it wasn’t officially part of the show, but it should be.

9. Kurt’s soprano has even more clarity live. It was wonderous.

10. This felt like an incredibly special night and one no one here will forget.
